THE STEP-MOTHER
Southern Culivator.

Are there two people more in con
trast than the mother and the step
mother as viewed by the world? The
woman who marries man with one
child is brave, but if there are seven
or eight of them she has shouldered
mountain. She has many trials as
varying as the colors OF the kaliedo-
scope, yet as certain as death and
taxation. A great deal is expected
of her and but little allowance made
for shortcomings. A display of
temper which would not be noticed
in ''grandma" or "auntie" is consid-
cred volcanic if it comes from the
new mama. Our object here is
simply to discuss the question. Who
is responsible Tor the indignities she
suffers Undeniably, the husband.
Her VOWS mean more than if she had
married a young man, or a man with
out children. When she promised
to cherish him the children if help
less were included. If she seems
disposed to do her duty the husband
should see that she is respectfully
treated If she is allowed fair
chance she will be more apt to do
good part by them than any one
else. Children are often taught by
relatives and acquaintance to treat
her rudely and to distrust every ex-
hibition of friendship. The father
should teach them to turn deaf ear
to such meddlers. He can by his
own example and the disposition to
quell insubordination and reward
meritoriOus conduct, gain for his
wife the love and respect Of his chill
dren. | recall case which verihes
the old proyerb, Sow to the wind
and reap the whirl-wind. Six
children were lett motherless and in
a few years their father married
again. The oldest child, daughter,
took especial pains to make it un-
pleasant for the step-mother. She
suggested to the younger ones the
manufacture of torture by the whole
sale. The father did not exercise
the proper authority and the wretch
edness in that house beggared de-
scription. After the elapse Of few
years the girl married man with
children. They in turn treated her
cruelty, and at times she felt that
her life was endangered. She lived
sad, weary, and heart-broken till at
last slow, consuming fever brought
on by great mental anguish, extin-
guished the vital spark. On her
death-bed she called her step-mother
tie her side and said, ''please forgive
me; | have been paid a hundred
times over tor the way | treated you"

Russell sage

is well known operator in Wall
street, who is generally considered
as sup TO snuff. Hence, it may
have been quite natural that coun-
tryman who reads the papers recent
ly called at his office and asked for a
package OF DR.. Sage's Catarrh Renee
dy. He discovered his mistake, but
he made no mistake in the article
called for. This remedy, when APP
piled with DR.. Pierce's Nasal
Douche," will surely and rapidly
eradicate the most aggravated case
of catarrh, with all its unpleasant
and dangerous Accomplishments.

WHIPPED FOR DRUNKENNESS

The following amusing and strict
" true incident was this week rela-
ted to us by reliable authority:
Two years ago gentleman Of
Mitchell county courted and married
a lady Of this county, and on the
evening of the wedding, the subject
OF drunkenness being discussed the
lady said to her husband IF YOU
ever come home to me drunk | shall
tie you and whip you so badly that
you will never repeat the ofFense."
Time passed and the couple settled
IN this county and are yet citizens
thereof. Last week the husband re-
turned home faom cambridge under
the influence of liquor for the first
time since the day he led his bride
to the altar. Like the true wife she
awaited his coming at the gate little
suspecting his condition. On meet
ing him she didn't rail out upon him
but gently supported him till she
could lay her hands upon a conven-
lent blow line she tied him fast to
the gate post and after giving him
such whipping as he will probably
never cease to remember, kept him
thus tied up throughout the night, to
sober him off and impress her lesson
upon him.
This incident is vouched for by the
Magistrate who tied the nuptial
knot, and he gets it direct from the
parties themselves. BamJyidqe DEM

A BAD BURGLAR.

Americas Republican An old
gentleman living in Starksville, Lee
county, who is running a little store
there, had been annoyed by sys-
tematic stealing of his goods every
few nights, so he determined to
watch. One night week or two af-
ter taking stand with his shotgun
as a companion, he observed a burly
negro walk up to the store door, in
sert a key, unlock it and, as he was
going in, he raised his gun and fired
at the intruder. lie then ran into
the house after his man, thinking,
no doubt, that he had got the load
Of shot in his back, but as he went
in the negro knocked him on the
head with an axe helye and he fell
senseless The burglar, supposing
he had killed his man, caught him
by the heels and was dragging the
old fellow to well to pitch him in
when he recovered and commenced
pleading for his life. The heartless
fiend still dragged the helpless old
man toward the well, when Mr..
Deese, who had heard the shot, rush
ed out to see what had caused il
and frightned the negro off. The
negro was recognized, we learn, but
has not been seen about his old
haunt's since. This may have been
the negro who was reported about
two weeks since as having died at a
negro house in this city with his back
full Of small shot. The storekeeper's
name, we learn, is Sharpless,

A large crowd witnessed a fearful
accident at Oskaloosa, Iowa, recent
ly, by which William Andrews, an
amateur balloonist, was dashed to
death. The balloon, about 20 by 40
feet in size, was inflated with hot air

700 feet, Andrews clinging to a trap
exc. Suddenly it was observed that
the balloon had caught fire, and An

CURE FOR SNAKE BITES

An old woodsman of Australia, who
used to catch snakes for pastime, says
a raw onion, bruised and applied as
o as possible to the wound, is a Ger
tain cure for the bite of all the veno-
nous serpents of that country except
the dead adder, which he admits is so
poisonous, and it's poison is so quick in
acting, that there is no known remedy
for it. That the onion is a specific
for the sting of poisonous insects of
all kinds has long been known to the
writer of this paragraph, who, a boy,
invariably carried one on expeditions
with companions against hornets nests
&c. It was fonnd that the applica-
ton of onion juice would instantly
allay the pain caused by the sting of
hornets, yellow jackets, bees, &c.
